The sixth look at one of my favorite movie dads. (#1 #2 #3 #4 and #5)

Bill Cosby will always be one of the ultimate TV Dads, and any fan of Bill Cosby should be a fan of one of his fatherly movie ventures, Ghost Dad. It’s mostly silly and full of gags, but watching Cosby sink into the floor and ride the lines between our world and another is great fun. Plus, the film is about him looking out for his kids - so it’s good for the entire family. Admittedly, I haven’t seen the film since in quite some time, but I remember loving it when I was a kid. And interestingly enough I just learned that Sidney Poitier directed it, which earns major bonus points with the adult me.

  1. Unfortunately, for a lot of single parent families, fathers day is sad because dad is a ghost.
    Mothers, too, for some.

    Happy Father’s Day!

    It starts with a smile, a touch, or a look,
    Then grows like a tree on the side of a brook.
    Love between two creates so much more.
    A man and a woman, who then children adore,
    Through the laughs and the joy, the falls and the tears.
    A family together helps waylay all fears.
    Life has more meaning when two become one,
    And stay the whole distance, without trying to run.
    All boys and all girls love their father and mother,
    Who have commitment to family and respect for each other.

    Love Lora Bruncke
